      Actually that's just factually incorrect. Intersex is a biomechanical term describing thise born with mixed gender characteristics (i.e. chromosomal)

      No it’s not. ‘Intersex’ describes one of a rare set of disorders that, for the most part, occurs in one of the binary sexes.

      What do you mean by 'in one of the binary sexes'? Do you mean gender identity, or xx/xy chromosomes? Within a given condition exist a range of identities/expressions

      Exactly what it says. The vast majority of intersex conditions occur in either a phenotypic male or phenotypic female. ‘Mixed gender characteristics’ seems an inaccurate confusion of gender/sex and a misunderstanding of intersex conditions generally.

      Name a single intersex condition that is typically not phenotypically expressed

      That makes no sense in relation to my comment :/ I am not addressing penetrance/expressivity. I am rejecting the premise that intersex sex conditions cause ‘mixed gender’, because, for the most part, they don’t (assuming by ‘gender’, you mean ‘sex’?).

      You stated that intersex occurs in "phenotypically" male/female people. By definition that is wrong, as intersex is definitionally neither 'male' nor 'female' insofar as those are discrete phenotypic categories (i.e. ambiguous genitalia etc)

      The majority of intersex conditions happen in males or females. Example: XXY (Kleinfelter) are male, yet listed as intersex. Maybe you are using a far stricter definition than standard?

      You specifically mentioned phenotype. Kleinfelters individuals present with a mixed male/female 'phenotype', insofar as that's a definable biological category. As I said, if you can find me a case of an intersex person who repesents a cohesive gendered phenotype I'd be surprised

      XXY are males with penises. Klinefelter syndrome doesn’t happen in females.

      Genitalia are not the only expressions of chromosomes in phenotype. Either you're defining phenotype incorrectly or you're arbitrarily excluding characteristics you don't like from your assessment

          I am not ignoring the atypical (for male) features in a syndrome like Klinefelter’s. What I am asserting (disputing? debating?) is that a Klinefelter patient is somehow ‘not male’. They have penises/testes/body hair/etc 1/2

          If a male presents with a KS-like phenotype but is found to have, say, Marfan syndrome and unrelated hypogonadism (perhaps not outside ‘typical’), is that male ‘intersex’?
